Quick Picks

Our pick: Fury to win

Value bet: Fury to win by TKO/KO

Long shot: 'Tyson Fury To Win the Fight in Round 7 - 8'

Tale of the Tape

Fury is usually the longer, more adaptable boxer-puncher who can switch between outside boxing, clinch-heavy ugly work, and sudden bursts of pressure.

Makhmudov is the more static, forward-pressing power puncher. He tends to close the distance with a heavy jab and seeks a big right hand or hook.

Both adopt an orthodox stance, but Fury's size, movement, jab work, and ring IQ could be the difference in this upcoming bout.

How do the two fighters compare? Fury's figures are first…

• Age - 37 vs 36
• Height - 6'9" (206cm) vs 6'6" (198cm)
• Stance - Orthodox vs Orthodox
• Record - 34-2-1 vs 21-2-0
• KO Record - 24 vs 19

Betting Markets to Watch

There isn't much value available in the moneyline, with Fury a big pre-fight favourite heading into the ring.

The odds don't offer much more value when it comes to the likely win method, with a Fury TKO/KO only slightly higher than his outright win.

However, betting value is worth exploring off the back of this. The 'Round Betting' and 'Alternative Group Round Betting 2' markets are perhaps where the value is, especially if you feel the odds reflect the win method accurately.

We think there's potential value in the 'Tyson Fury To Win the Fight in Round 7 - 8' outcome.

Fury's TKO history against tough, durable heavyweights (Chisora, Whyte, Wilder, and Cunningham) clusters in the 6-10 range after he probes and breaks them down.

Makhmudov fits that mold, as he is strong early but fades under sustained pressure.
